Reasonably light for its price
Good handling for XC riding and trail riding

With a rigid frame you really feel the bumps
A bit scarey downhill at high speed and sluggish on the roadBottom Line: Much better ride with front suspension.
An excellent beginners bike with good standard specs
A bit on the heavy side but reasonably priced
Excellent starter bike for all round off-road use

Strengths:
Good for introduction to biking. Now very keen and on my third bike.
Cheap, reliable, good overall.Weaknesses:
Bit harsh as a rigid. Riding position too upright.Bottom Line: This was a good bike when i originally bought it, and has been substantially better after each upgrade. I have changed those components that i felt were lacking in the original bike, and now have just purchased a trek y33 frame to replace the remaining substandard component. This i hope should improve the bike no end. All in all a very good machine. What a baby!
